You could shell it

Shell Application.Path & "\MSACCESS.EXE C:\MyDir\MyDatabase.mdb"

Good Morning
Can a macro be written under Excel to open an Access Database. I have
an
Excel worksheet that is kept open during the day to enter data. I would
like
to put a control button on the worksheet to execute a macro which would
open
an Access database found on the same network drive. The database is to be
use to enter alternate data. Any Ideas? Thanks.
